Brethren, let Us boom the country In
the first place we have thousands Of peo-
nle in Arkansas, white and colored, who
are homeless, Notwithstanding good land
is more plentiful and cheap here than any
where else in the wide world. Let us en-
courage the agricultural laborer to have a
home. Let US say to him, brother, IN"
stead of paying from three to seven dol
lars a year rent for land to cultivate, buy
small tract of land from some person VINO
has more than be needs or wants, rom
the state, or remember that there are hun
dreds of vacant places in the country thaS
you may yet take under the homestead
laws of Congress for mere nominal sum-
By whatever honorable means acquire
piece of land for yourself and children.
If you live in a stately mansion or IN
moor howell, own it yourself, be independ-
ent, plant your own vineyard, live under
YOUR own vine and fig tree and own your
home, and then, when you can be at
nothing else, you can add some flower,
some tree, some building or some conYen-
ienoe to your own home and make your
wife and children happier. The most
prosperous countries are those whose IN
habitants own the soil. The greatest pa
triots are those who having homes, have
a country to love and honor, to die for If
necessary. 1t would be better than
immigration by the thousand in every
county in Arkansas, than the acquisition
of millions Of capital if every family now
in the state owned home for then would
the boom come to stay.

There have been rains of late that will

limited area in Northern Texas, are suf-

Austin, from Austin TO Waco. from W AGO
to Bremond, and down the Central rail-

moisture. Oats and small grain within
the district specified are almost total

agricultural situation in middle and south

the corn crop in Texas will be very much

ARKANSAW TRAVELLER,

Some Of the state papers are put ting up
E1e cry that the Arkansaw Traveller has
exercised hurtful influence upon the
state. Apparently the only ones who are
hurt are those who are doing the hoWllng'
What is it that the snccess OF others be-
rets in some minds?-Life of Little Rock.
We are not hurt, nor have we howled.
We freely admit that the Traveller has dis
played great talent as humorous paper.
A few times we have been touched by
refreshing CLEAN Of genuine and rGtned
patbos found in its columns. We are
glad that the paper proved financial
success in spite Of itself but seriously, I'VE
put this in a softly subdued tone lest it
be written down a howl) is there
among the newspaper men Of Ar
kansas a single one, who admitting
tn e Travellers wide influence will
say ii has been otherwise than
hurtful to the state2 Ludicrous buffoon-
cry and creations, existing only in the
imagination Of the writer, have been fas-
tened on the state. The silliest of things
occurred in Arkansas, the meritorious
phases of Arkansas society have been ig-
nored. The cherished institutions Of her
people, those promoters Of civilization OF
which we meekly claim few, have had
no line Of commentator in its columns.
Her temperance laws have been ridiculed,
her churches have not been fairly dealt
with by this great paper, The bent of
some minds incline their owners to the
abuse Of their best and truest friends. Is
this an instance? No, friendsi the Trav-
eler has made many mistakes in its efforts
to build up its native state. 1t would
have been much funnier to US if the old
fashioned, bow-legged niger, the rip
snortin' blarey eyed rapscallion, and the
bulb-nosed brilliant BOBBY Of the Traveller
EDITORS ponderous humor, bad been loca-
ted in Louisiana, Missouri or Texas. 80
far as we are concerned the Traveller may
go to Shoel-cago, on Lake Michigan.

which 30 much was expected, is creating

The New York Herald puts forward
the names of Grover Cleve!ond of New
York, and Henry Grady of Georgia, for
the nomination for president and vice
president, respectively, in 1893 by the de-
mooracy. While the New York Herald
has not been in the habit of naming the
democratic ticket, it is possible that its
proposition may prove good one. We
are quite certain that the country should
be satisfied with the proposed head of the
Herald ticket, and perhaps with Grady;
but if not there is Vest of Missouri, Jones
of Arkansas, Beck of Kentucky, and
many others who would Gil the bill. Come
to think of it, Isham g. Harris of Ten
nessee would make quite a good president
Of the U. s. Senate.

The CINCINNATI labor platform, in she
opinion of several very eminent business
men of this country, on a great many
points, has bitten off more than any
party, unless it be party of cranks, can
well masticate. It's proposition TO have
the government take charge Of all trans
portation, railroad and telegraph lines
seems TO be carrying the shing little too
far towards the paternal government for
US. We supposed that the republican
party had carried this idea quite far
enough, but it seems that several
people who labor hard both day and
night with their mouths do not think 90.
Well, suppose we carry the idea little
farther and let the government operate
all the mills and farms and factories and
stores and shops, and loan money to the
people. 1t would be nice. And then
again. Suppose we allow the people Of
this country to attend to their own busi-
ness while the Nation only performs the
functions legitimately belonging to gov
ernmcnt. Ii would be still more salts
factory in our opinion.

there a necessity arisen for secret political

Bull Run Mountain House.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: A few
days ago visited, In company with a few
friends, the highest point Of Bull Run
mountain, which is about $500 feet high,
and near the line of the contemplated
double track railway, running west out Of
Washington city, and l said to my friends,
"What delightful place for a summer
mountain house, and gentlemen, there will
soon be one here, for these panoramic
views are as beautiful as any have seen In
Old or New Mexico, In Arkansas, North
Carolina, or Colorado. and we stand within
one hours ride Of Washington when our
Central Western railway is constructed, as 1t
will be within two years" To the east one
can zee tine Washington monument and C capi-
tol, thirty.flve miles distant, and to the north
east old Sugar Loaf mountain, In Maryland
stands out in bold relief miles away, while
the interesting landscape Of green and
golden fields, OF glades and orchards, OF
farm houses and villages, for thirty miles
to the east, southeast and, south, with the
silvery thread Of the Potomac beyond
forms beautiful picture. To the west
the tall Alleghanies push their scraggy
peaks up against the sky. With our great
central double track constructed westward
out Of Washington, what delightful place:
Of mountain resort Washingtoniaus will
have within one and two hours ride of the
national capital. L. b.
